Today, the world has arrived at the brink of disaster precisely because of all the ‘practical’ things that have been done in the last few decades. Let us take a small sample of the ‘practical’ things we have done with respect to only one thing for the time being, the use of land. Forty per cent of the forests have been cut down in the last century, most of it in the last 50 years. At the present rate, it would only take another 50 years to remove another 40 per cent and turn the earth into a pressure cooker. Now this is a very ‘practical’ thing to do. We need more land for our cities, for more industries, for more agriculture to feed the world population, to grow more bio fuels, for more roads to run more and more cars and so on. All are ‘practical’ things to do.
